Show us the proof of 'standing over'. From what I've experienced, yes parents are concerned and talking to teachers etc, to gain a better understanding of the consequences should there be change. You really need to stop telling lies, I would have thought you'd learned your lesson by now

Plenty of things that will kill you in NZ. Have you seen the way some of us drive? You're better off with snakes - although we have similar beings to snakes, we call them National MP's.

Racists are the weak minded whimps amongst us. They can't cope with difference so rather than find a way, the immediately hate the other. It is an animal instinct to be wary of difference, but most of us have developed a lot further than that animal trait, sadly some haven't.

Yeah, I was going to say at least we don't have snakes too, but then I remembered Winston, the Snarky Snake.

There is more money to be made by the very wealthy by presenting the idea that Covid is something like a minor tummy bug, and nothing to worry about. Fact is, people are still dying, and humanity doesn't seem to have come up with a method of destroying covid - yet

If we were to protest at Parliament to object to Seymour messing with the Treaty of Waitangi, what would our song be?

Rod Oram nails it. An inexperienced Chris Luxon is about to inflict reputational damage on himself, the National Party and New Zealand if he pursues his reckless and ill-informed plan the restart oil and gas exploration in Aotearoa.

Boy, there are going to be lots of very excited indigenous people around the world when they discover Israel and how old a land claim can be to get Western support for it!

On the good side - I have it on good authority that Luxon doesn't have a pony tail fetish like Key. I am however somewhat concerned just what kind of fetish Luxon might have? ?

There's only one way to sort this. Mud wrestling !! There is absolutely no reason to take NZ politics and NZ's media and anyone else involved, seriously anymore. None of them are familiar with the truth.

Was going to say that if I was a witch I'd turn Luxon into an ugly green frog, but taking a second look, I think someone's beat me to it. He is ugly in mind body and soul. How did we get to this?

Well they better damn well not get rid of any of the cleaners, with Luxon's persistent dribbling, someone's going to have to clean up his mess.

I'd be there with bells on - or a drum or anything else it took. We cannot let Seymour and Luxon destroy the work we have done, there is still a long way to go, but he will drag Maori into absolute poverty. I will do all I can to stop him.

Yes, I think a lot of unrest has come via the antivaxxers & it also helped put Winston Peters name back in the publics mind.

The only time name suppression should be allowed, is if it also reveals the victim's name and the victim agrees with the suppression order. People are only safe if they know what the person sitting at their table, is capable of.

Reti is unfit to lead a ministry so important to our countries future. It would be morally wrong and a political liability but I suspect Luxon is so naive that he can’t see it. 🤬

Sadly the gif doesn't work here, it shows a time lapse of how quickly Maori land has disappeared. First pic Maori land ownership pre-1840 2nd Pic, Maori land ownership today. PLEASE don't let Luxon get rid of the Treaty.

Christopher Luxon’s plan to reopen NZ to offshore oil exploration is STUPID. We we can SEE the climate crisis taking an increasingly heavy toll. We KNOW it’s being caused by burning oil, gas and coal. Scientists say we can’t afford to burn even known reserves. It’s stupid and reckless.

I'm not particularly young, but haven't got one foot in the grave yet either. My main focus in life is to try and make the world at least as good as it was when I was born, but hopefully much better without the inequality, racism and sexism, before I turn to dust.

The only experience I've had really having to negotiate with Winston Peters, was when I first came to Wgtn on secondment to Parl, and he came & sat at our table in the Green Parrot on several occassions... So my advice is take him out to dinner & give him lots to drink, then negotiate .
